     Hello, Loer. You would say: How tall is he? I’m not sure how tall he is, but I’ll check with my sister-in-law.

     That’s correct; but you might prefer to ask “How tall is _______?” (for people).

      What kind of dog do you have?

      (With your husband, you can say “My husband is about this tall”; unless [a não ser que] you are talking about his belly, for example, then you can say “it is about this big”. 🙂 )
